Bill: New National Anthem
Details
Submitted by[?]: McGillicuddy Serious Party
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This bill asks for an amendement to the Constitution. It will require two-thirds of the legislature to vote in favor. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: August 2445
Description[?]:
National pride is plummeting in the age bracket 11-18. Our country needs to get "hip to it". Therefore I propose a change of the national anthem. Instead of that patriotic pish posh we have now, I recommend changing it to a song everyone knows, and loves. "Ice Ice Baby, by Vanialla Ice". No longer will our kids drone out a half baked attempt at the anthem during school, and national sporting matches, but sing it with pride! Our patriotism will be the envy of all other countries! |
Proposals
Article 1
Proposal[?] to change The lyrics of the national anthem.
Old value:: HYMN TO THE COMMONWEALTH 1. O Rutania, for ever you're strong sacred country! O Rutania, for ever the land that we love! The glory that's great and the will that is mighty - So be they thy virtue for ages to come. CHORUS Praised be the Commonwealth, cherishing home of ours - Cent'ries-old union of peoples in free, Popular wisdom given us by forefathers. Praised be our country! And we're proud of thee! 2. From seas in the West and to Artania's borders Our woods and our meadows have stretched far away. Alone in the whole world, you stand one and only! Long live for ever our dear native land. CHORUS 3. For generous dreaming, for living and longing The years approaching give us ample scope. With faith in our Homeland we are getting stronger. It was so, it is so and it will be so! (To the tones of the Hymn of the Russian Federation, music by Alexandr Vasilievich Alexandrov.)

Date | 06:57:51, August 21, 2007 CET | From | Deus Ex Machina Party | To | Debating the New National Anthem |
Message | While we are in favor of a less serious anthem we also must do not support musical terrorism. This song is responsible for millions of suicides and eventually causes the listener to become tone deaf. |
Date | 08:21:12, August 21, 2007 CET | From | Capitalist Working Families | To | Debating the New National Anthem |
Message | We agree that it is time for the anthem to "get hip" but Vanilla is NOT the one. For starters, he can't rap. |
Date | 09:09:52, August 21, 2007 CET | From | Stupidfly Urbanist Exapansion Party | To | Debating the New National Anthem |
Message | Vanilla Ice is a horrible misrepresentation of what hip hop is. |
